I just think Gray has made a couple of silly defensive errors in the first 2 trials and looks a little slow,maybe he just needs 3 or 4 weeks of regular footy with norths.Oldfield is solid without being spectacular,imo.

Yeah fair enough.

Who do you think will be in the 5 jersey???

Goodwin or Hunt???

I'll go Hunt on the wing.

Knowing my luck it'll probably be Goodwin:lol:

There is no doubt in mind about our 5 backs for Round 1.

I know i personally don't rate goodwin as a centre, he's the only rabbitoh i repeatedly criticize, and on this forum it's really love him or hate him. He's supporters on here will greatly exaggerate everything he does, to the point of he's getting a repeat set in the CS mase him one of the players of the match.

not really. i have been critical of him in the past, but i say he has been good in the pre season games because he has been

I have nothing against Goodwin. I'd play him on the wing. If he misses playing centre, his trial form warrants him getting a start.
However if Madge decides to go with Auva'a and Hunt I think it shows the direction he wants to go in terms of youngsters looking forward. However he is a pretty loyal bloke and would not surprise me to see Goodwin start.

My back 5 would be

GI
AJ
Hunt
Auva'a
Oldfield

Then we have Gray, Goodwin, Nielson, Murphy, Hughes, Olive as back ups.
Not a bad position to be in realistically. A fair amount of depth and young raw blokes chomping at the bit.

but you named oldfield instead

Yes I did. I think the overall balance of the team is better with Oldfield there.

If I was to name Bryson, I'd play him on the wing.

r20 i had to let the cat out of the bag mate i had you hooked for too long lol

haha knock it off shadow. you're saying this now because it's now obvious that cody isn't better than keary, at least not yet and maybe never. cody is ok though and hopefully he goes well in round 1

Let's assume George and Keary are the only outs for Round 1.

I'd go with

1. Greg Inglis
2. Alex Johnston
3. Bryson Goodwin
4. Hymel Hunt
5. Michael Oldfield/Kirisome Auva'a/Aaron Gray/John Olive
6. Cody Walker
7. Adam Reynolds
8. Tom Burgess
9. Cameron McInnes
10. Jason Clark
11. Kyle Turner
12. John Sutton
13. Sam Burgess

14. Damien Cook
15. Nathan Brown
16. Paul Carter
17. Zane Musgrove/Chris Grevsmuhl/Dave Tyrrell


Only real doubts I have is the open wing spot and the last spot on the bench. Ideally i'd like to fit Goodwin, Hunt and Auva'a in but one would have to play on the wing and none of them really have the best skill set for that.

I think Zane Musgrove deserves to debut this Round but could find it tough against the Roosters pack, which even without JWH and Cordner is still massive. Grevsmuhl would be a risk and Tyrrell just doesn't provide the impact.

Madge may not put Cook on in the first half. With 30mins left Cook could come on.

I think Madge will give Cam a bit more game time over Cook.

i hope that doesn't happen. i understand the argument that cook comes on fresh when the opposition is getting tired, but if they do that then cook should come on the field no later than the 30th minute. i was disappointed with mcinnes yesterday. i think cook is the superior number 9 at the moment. looking at the preseason games, i would say cook has been better in attack AND defense.

Don't try and change it now you were wrong.

Southport knows how keen you were re Cody.

You wouldn't shut up.

Stop playing this pretend game now.

You were WRONG!!!!

Just admit it.

:)

r20, i knew shadow would pull something like this. it's kinda funny though. :D

I think both of their best position is centre,Hunt had a habit of run running in off the wing when he was at melbourne,so Im really not sure.

Everyone can see your covering it up shadow.

I've got you covered shadow and your posting pics and talking shit to try and get out of it.

Nice try shadow but Cody ain't what you said.

You told us we'd see shadow and I've seen allright.

Cop it on the chin and man up.

As I said I've got you covered:lol:

:lol: :)

We've got four players going for three positions in the outside backs. Who will miss out?

Whoever takes the #5 needs to be the best under the high ball and a strong defender.

I am amazed. Unbelievable.

Well Madge won't be doing that for obvious reasons.
